@MargaretPBrady @ryanburge Makes sense -- people just don't want the label. Or as someone else said become open to other ideas without embracing them.

@KobeissiLetter Is this somehow connected to rising debt?

Federal debt to SP500 market cap ratio is somewhat stable and actually relatively low at the moment. What's recent is that SP500 and debt are greater than GDP. Made this out of curiosity, numbers approx. I have no idea what this means, but it's interesting! @1ArmedEconomist

@gneubig My home brew LM responded "<s> <s> <s> <s> <s> <s> <s>". He's a little shy.

Evidence is continuing to accumulate questioning "the prevailing assumption that increasing model parameters is always the optimal path forward." Instead, blend classic and neural ideas. Velasco, Garryyeva, Palacio, @AntonioMastro2 , @Denys19674549

@texasrunnerDFW Look at how we treated young families: close the schools, send everyone home, even close playgrounds and sports. Then borrow multi-trillions, give it to asset owners, helping drive housing prices sky-high. Now we ask why birth rates are low. Our society is set up for the old.

@lionel_c_briand I hate the fact that we are being such bad neighbors. Trump wrecks all his close relationships.

@ryanburge Interesting, so what is the implication? That education drives religiosity, religiosity drives education, or some other factor?

More evidence of LLMs struggling to demonstrate an understanding of code even though they can write it. Interesting read by Jain and Purandare on concurrent code and LLMs.

@VladTheInflator A great blog "More People" explains how this is possible. It details the typical rust belt city of South Bend, IN as an example. It boils down to 1) concentration of desirable housing in certain areas, and 2) fewer marriages means more housing demand.

@MishGEA @tyillc @mtmalinen @jlounsbury59 @USRoute41 @FM_NoAlgos @dgsommersmkts Vaguely reminds me of the impossible-to-enforce export controls on cryptography in the 1990s.

@b_vasilescu Congratulations!!

@StringChaos @vikramnitin9 @r_krsn @baishakhir Very cool, thank you

@KobeissiLetter Inflation. Not necessarily runaway, but elevated above baseline enough to work down real value of debt and to provide cover for stealth tax increases and benefit cuts. Inflation can run 4% while fica benefits rise 2%, for example.

@pmarca Tangential point but the chart seems to be showing college sticker price. ~80% of people get big discounts.

@esrtweet New games were $50ish in the late 90s. Inflation adjusted that is $100 now.
